You can also use bitmapped fonts. I've attached some code to get bitmaps 
from a postscript file.

Untar, then in the directory, run

./fontgen ascii.map Times

tmp not contains a bunch of PNG files. The files are names with the 
character number. There's fancier mappings than ascii if you want to mess 
with unicode.

Substitute Times for whatever postscript font you wish to rasterize.
